Kate Stedelbauer is a Nashville-based Americana artist, originally hailing from southeastern Virginia. Her musical influences include John Prine, Patty Griffin, Kacey Musgraves, and many other artists in the Americana, country and folk genres. Words and stories have always mattered to Kate. As a kid, she was a voracious reader, which cultivated her appreciation for great storytelling. Upon turning ten, she received her first guitar, and with that, Kate’s love for words and music began melding together into songwriting as an outlet for her creativity. Kate’s songs range from poignant ballads to bouncy, tongue-in-cheek slices of life. Matched with memorable hooks, her songs evoke personalities and places that invite the listener to find a bit of themselves within. She has released several projects over the years, including her most recent single, "Boy Named Sunday", released in November 2025.
